Hi,
How can i create a flow so that everytime a file is created/added in a SharePoint Document Library, that the particular file than will be deleted in lets say in "7 days".
The point is that the no files older than 7 days will stay in the Document Library.
Thanks...
I initially set up a bunch of variables for URL and folder paths, and retention duration etc etc. On saving the workflow, PA did not throw any error. However when I tried running it, it triggered that error. The error was subsequently traced to the use of some of the variables... in particular, the ones with URLs. Once I have the URL statically coded in the flow instead of in variables, then everything works.
Hi @JBlaiser, thank you for posting this update. I am using the flow and it is happily working. Can you advise how the flow can be adapted to also delete folders/subfolders that are also older than xx days? Thank you
I have a similar workflow that delete files after xx number of days. I tested the workflow by incrementing a counter when condition is matched. Everything runs correctly. But when I add the Delete action, then i get this error message "An action failed. No dependent actions succeeded.".
Anyone has any idea how to fix this? Thanks.
@gamoraes And how would you change the flow if you want to delete file older than lets say 14 hours
I will appreciate if you can share a screenshot for that flow
thanks and regards
When using the flow that you stated, I am running into issue because there are subfolders that are causing the flow to fail. Any idea how to circumvent the problem?
Edit:
I figured out that I could add to the conditional statement with an "And" the "IsFolder" "is equal to" "false". So, as long as the item is not a folder the conditional statement would run.
Hi
and if I wanted to delete folders and sub-folders as well as files?
Thanks
